The Washington state House approved a bill that would authorize state agencies to hide children seeking transgender medical intervention from parents.

On April 12, House lawmakers debated Senate Bill 5599 (pdf), which creates an exemption for the state that grants it the right to not be required to notify parents of minors who have left their homes because their parents wouldn’t let them pursue gender transition medical procedures.
